reishi
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) supplement is a concentrated 20:1 dual extract from fruiting bodies : an adaptogenic mushroom traditionally used for stress resilience, sleep quality, and immune support.
What is Reishi mushroom?
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum , also called lingzhi) is a woody medicinal mushroom used in East Asian wellness practice for over 2,000 years. Its traditional name - "the mushroom of immortality" - reflects a long-standing association with calm, longevity, and resilience to stress.
Our Reishi extract is produced from fruiting bodies only using a dual-extraction method - both hot-water and alcohol — which captures water-soluble polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble triterpenes in the same capsule.
Active compounds
Each batch is independently tested in a European laboratory and standardised to:
- 55% beta-glucans - the highest beta-glucan content in our mushroom range
- 5.12% triterpenes -Reishi's signature secondary metabolites
- 0.34% ganoderic acids - the principal Reishi bioactive marker
- 1.13% polyphenols - antioxidant markers
How Reishi works
Reishi is classed as an adaptogen - a compound that helps the body adapt to physical and emotional stress without producing acute sedation or stimulation. The main bioactive markers are the triterpene fraction (notably ganoderic acids) and the beta-glucan polysaccharides .
Research has examined Reishi triterpenes in connection with parasympathetic (rest-and-recovery) nervous system modulation - a pathway associated with sleep quality and stress response ([PubMed PMC9330682](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35954839/)). Reishi beta-glucans have been studied in relation to innate-immune modulation ([PubMed PMC6720636](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31481267/)).
Reishi is not a pharmacological sleep aid - it is not perceived as sedating. Its effects are cumulative: users typically report a calmer stress response and improved sleep quality within 2–4 weeks.
Dosage and use
- Daily dose: 2 capsules (840 mg of 20:1 extract) once per day with food
- Best time: Evening, 1–2 hours before bed - supports parasympathetic activation
- Course length: 8–12 weeks
- Pack size: 60 capsules - a 30-day supply
Why this Reishi extract is different
- Fruiting body only - no mycelium-on-grain
- 20:1 concentration - high active-compound dose per capsule
- Dual extraction - both polysaccharides and triterpenes
- Standardised to ganoderic acids - the principal Reishi marker
- Lab-tested in a European facility
- Vegan , free of fillers and preservatives
Safety and precautions
Reishi fruiting-body extract is well tolerated at supplement doses. Some users report mild GI discomfort or dryness in the mouth in the first week. Reishi triterpenes have theoretical interactions with anticoagulants (mild antiplatelet activity), antihypertensive medications, and immunosuppressants.
Consult your physician before use if you take prescription medication, are pregnant, are breastfeeding, or have surgery scheduled within two weeks.
A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
